Team Seagal East Coast Syndicate Recruits First Team Member

Team Seagal's East Coast Syndicate is proud to welcome it's newest and first member, who will be know only by the name Footie - his favorite English sporting past time. Footie is a real trooper, brought into endurance racing on a whim, I made sure to give him a good wrist snapping his first time out. Wiser to the ways and having spent hours at the dojo, Footie elected to go to his second 100 miler on a full rigid single speed and proceeded to throw down a very respectable time.

Unsure what to make of this protege, rumor had it that Steven Seagal formed a special task force to study the ancestry of Footie's family. Well it has been confirmed that during the reign of Henry the VIII there was a tryst with one of the servants and the offspring yielded the British police officer that had to give up his bike and ride mass transit due to poor cycling skills.

Even more shocking was the revelation that this officer had younger brother that turns out to be none other then Footie. Suspicions were confirmed when this rare photo was discovered of Footie trying to fit a tire right before the start of the Wilderness 101.

Perhaps he was confused over the metric system but we had a great laugh watching this video of Footie trying to put a 29" tire on a 26" rim. It doesn't get any better then this 15 minutes before the start. It should be noted that Footie went out and snapped a lot of wrists in this one!

Welcome aboard mate.

And when it was all over we celebrated with numerous bottles of beer, flasks of mezcal and an offering of Chinese herbs and the Tibetian Gogi in hopes that our fallen brother Wayne would return from the hospital with his arm intact, which he did with 6 stitches.
